DIFFERENTIAL REPAIR

A differential allows one input shaft to drive two output shafts at different speeds. The differential distributes torque (angular force) evenly while distributing angular velocity (turning speed) such that the average for the two output shafts is equal to that of the input shaft. Each powered axle requires a differential to distribute power between the left and right sides. If all four wheels are to be driven, a third differential can be used to distribute power between the front and rear axles.
